Beefed-up security – with twice as many bouncers wielding metal-detection wands – will greet the herd at Lace Gentlemen's Club and Restaurant in Wayne, where adult-film star Stormy Daniels will dance on Thursday.

Meanwhile, officials charged with ensuring public safety shrugged off her upcoming performance.

Daniels, 39, whose real name is Stephanie A. Gregory Clifford, will take the stage of the strip club, at 24 Galesi Drive, at 10:30 p.m. and midnight. Doors open at 7 p.m.

It is the next stop on Daniels' cross-country jaunt from club to club, which she has dubbed, "Make America Horny Again" – a not-so-subtle thumb to the nose toward President Donald Trump, and the slogan he used during his 2016 campaign.

Controversy swirling around Daniels, and her legal dispute with the president over an alleged affair, has fired up staff at Lace, said its co-manager, Daryl Robinson.

"It's exciting for us," Robinson said, "because it's going to be a very busy night."

Still, Robinson said, Daniels' upcoming performance has necessitated the club to revisit its security protocol. He said the club will bring on at least four bouncers, instead of two, to ensure it is "covered from every corner." He also said there will be twice as many bartenders and "shot girls."

Because the club serves alcohol, it is a "bikini bar," and no nudity is allowed.

Robinson said the club will strictly enforce customers' use of cell phones.

"We're going to keep a watchful eye to make sure they're not sneaking a picture, or anything like that," Robinson said. "Privacy of the girls is one of our main concerns."

Robinson said the club booked Daniels in January, about the time her feud with the president ignited. He said the club began promoting it on its website in February.

"It turned out to be a lot bigger than what we anticipated," said Robinson, who would not disclose how much Daniels is being paid.

Robinson said the club has a strong rapport with Daniels' booking agent, Florida-based A-List Features, which also helped it to secure an appearance next month by adult-film star Dani Daniels – no relation to Stormy – for Lace's 10th anniversary celebration.

Robinson said that more than half of the 200 tickets available for Stormy Daniels' performance have been sold. He said he expected the show to sell out. Tickets cost $25 in advance, or $30 at the door.

Robinson said the club has a maximum occupancy of 300 people, including staff. He said he also assumes Daniels will bring an entourage.

Robinson said the club has "never" broken the fire code for occupancy. And, Gregory Velardi, the township's fire marshal, did not seem concerned about the possibility of it happening on Thursday.

"It's not our responsibility to supervise their event," Velardi said. "They're aware of their occupancy, and they have to hold to it. If they exceed it, they're subject to penalties. We're not going to be at every venue. I don't have the manpower to do that. Believe me – if they're overcrowded, someone will call."

Gennifer Flowers: Her alleged 12-year affair with Bill Clinton was big news during his 1992 presidential run, and continued to hum in the background in subsequent years, through subsequent scandals. While President Clinton ducked the allegations, Flowers exploited them: A 1995 memoir, "Gennifer Flowers: Passion and Betrayal," was followed by several Australian movies, and appearances on radio (Howard Stern) and TV ("Play it to the Bone," "Wrestlemania XIV"). In 2004, she briefly appeared in an off-Broadway show, "Boobs! The Musical." AP Photo, Richard Drew/File

Blaze Starr: She was a burlesque icon of the 1950s, known for her routines with black panthers and exploding couches. But her affair, beginning in the late 1950s, with Earl Kemp Long, the married governor of Louisiana (and the brother of former Gov. Huey P. Long) sparked a whole new level of interest in her antics, and it remains what she is best known for. In 1989, a movie, "Blaze," starred Lolita Davidovich as Starr and Paul Newman as Long, with Starr in a walk-on part. AP/file

Fanne Foxe: Another stripper, another scandal. This one was with Rep. Wilbur Mills, Democrat of Arkansas, in 1974. He was considered a serious Democratic presidential contender until the police discovered him with his lady friend during a drunken driving stop in Washington, D.C., and Foxe attempted to flee the scene by jumping in the Tidal Basin. Mills had to resign from the House Ways and Means Committee, but Foxe was in clover: She changed her stage billing from "The Argentine Firecracker" to "The Tidal Basin Bombshell" and was able to more than triple her fees for appearances in strip clubs. In 2009, she made the list of Time Magazine's "Top 10 Mistresses." Gannett

Elizabeth Ray: She was a beauty contest winner who became a Washington D.C. clerk-secretary on a committee run by Rep. Wayne Hays, an Ohio Democrat. Except that what she really was, it emerged in 1976, was a professional mistress. Hays was forced to resign in the scandal, while Ray parlayed her 15 minutes into a book deal, several appearances in "Playboy," and some unsuccessful attempts at acting and stand-up comedy. Gannett

Evelyn Nesbit: She was a pin-up model of the early 1900s (the inspiration for the famous "Gibson Girl" drawings of the period) who shot to greater notoriety when she became the lover of Stanford White, the famed New York architect. Tabloid readers lapped up all the kinky details, like the "red velvet swing" in the couple's love nest. When White was gunned down by Nesbit's husband, Harry K. Thaw, on the rooftop of Madison Square Garden on June 25, 1906, her future was assured. For the rest of her life, she exploited her connection with White, and the murder, in cabarets — where she was billed as "the girl on the red velvet swing." Associated Press

Lola Montez: She was an Irish dancer (given name, Gilbert) who became the mistress of King Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1846. To the end of her life, it was her calling card. In 1851, she came to America, where she began touring in a show called "Lola Montez in Bavaria." She followed that up with a visit to Australia, where audiences flocked to her "Spider Dance" (the audience could see she didn't — gasp! — wear undies). "Utterly subversive to all ideas of public morality" wrote one paper. Put us down for two tickets.

Peggy Hopkins Joyce: She was a household name in the 1920s, not just for one romantic partner, but a whole slew of them: six marriages to millionaires, plus an assortment of affairs with celebrities like Charlie Chaplin, W. Averell Harriman and Walter Chrysler. Known as the "original gold digger," she is said to have locked herself in the bathroom on her wedding night and refused to come out until husband No. 2 wrote her a check for $500,000. Men shot themselves for her. She attempted suicide over them. So naturally, everyone wanted to see her in person. She became a sensation on Broadway in Earl Carroll's Vanities of 1923, and later appeared in several films, including "The Skyrocket" (1926) and "International House" (1933). Gannett

Police Chief James Clarke also did not seem worried about a disturbance at the club. "If we get a call for service," he said, "we'll deal with it, accordingly."

But, Daniels' appearances at strip clubs have caused commotion in some cases. Trump supporters demonstrated outside of a club where she performed in Florida in April, and last month, at a club in Ohio, she was arrested for allegedly caressing undercover police officers' faces with her bare breasts – charges that later were dropped.

"That's why we're going to have extra bouncers – to make sure we don't have an issue, like they had in Ohio," Robinson said.

"We don't want to end up having the night ruined because of something stupid, like that," he added. "We want everyone to come out, have a great time and keep it clean."
